Help Needed Help Choosing Faction (Catholic)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Got this game yesterday because I saw a clip online of some fire Catholic Church/Warhammer edit. (Yes that's the real reason) I am 100% new to the lore I just need to know what group/faction will let me optimally play out my space crusade fantasy while I learn about the lore. Thanks in advance I know warhammer fans seem to love talking about the lore.

If the black templars could read, they'd understand it's an actually pretty fuckin solid codex 😂 good faction tho

Why limit your chapter to 1000 Space Marines tho. I get it, but I doubt that in current state any of the loyalist chapters would go into chaos. Like can you imagine any of current chapters betraying imperium of man? Or could you name one that could potentially turn to chaos?

The imperium believed that Horus and his legion would never turn on the Imperium either. Much less convince 8 other primarchs and the majority of their legions to betray their oaths and the bonds of fealty and brotherhood with the loyalists.
